Hello Mervyn, it was indeed. I had been watching a movie on the Vietnam war that evening. I have no idea why I googled my Pop's name thereafter. When his name came up I froze, suddenly there he was. I grew up in a small family where the men all went to war & I had heard so many stories so I was proudly soldier orientated from a young age. I guess my Pop wanted me to know his medals were safe. Thank you for acknowledging & welcoming me. There are some details I would also like to rectify in his "profile" Regards, Lynn

He was very proud of it yes.

I am trying to gather myself! This is my late grandfather, he was like my Father (after my own dad died when I was 11months old) I idolised him, he was my hero. Very sadly due to financial circumstances, I sold all the medals etc of my late father & my grandad including the Somme medal of which he was so proud. I have the newspaper photo & article of when he received this medal. I will let you have a copy if you wish. I am just so proud to find my Pop's memory lives on. Enjoy the medal he will be happy to know it is safe. Kind Regards, Lynn
